Press OK to start filling process. ### Can I clear Water circuit empty. Press OK to start filling process myself? Check the tank has water and is fully clicked in. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Bertazzoni say Water circuit empty with a full tank? Air may have got into the line when the tank ran dry or was lifted out. Run the prime from the screen once or twice to push it out. ### Is a loud pump normal during priming on my Bertazzoni? The pump is louder while it pushes air out. If it keeps roaring with no water coming out, stop and book a visit. ### Where does the water come out when priming a Bertazzoni? From the hot water spout at the front. Keep a cup or small jug under it. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni Water circuit empty: the internal water line needs priming](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-water-circuit-empty/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
